Armalite lowers question > Rifles, Uppers, Lowers, Barrels, and more

My local gun shop just got in a few Armalite Ar15 complete lowers. I have reserved one before they get sold out. Price is $375.00

How do these compare with say DPMS, Bushmaster S&W etc.?

Thanks very much.

They are excellent.

Not a horrible price these days for a complete lower

By complete, I assume you mean with stock. I got a lower with DPMS LPK installed (no buttstock) for 260.00 @ www.carolinamountaintactical.com, just for comparison.
p.s. That was 45 days ago.

Last weekend stripped Armalites were $200.00 at the local show. So that sounds pretty desent for a complete lower( receiver, LPK, stock, etc.)

and I should mention that the one I got was flawless, and went together beautifully.

Yes complete lower with buttstock. Considering just about everyplace has a 4 to 6 month backorder list. Back in Oct. BEFORE the election I paid $249. for a DPMS complete lower.

I bought two stripped Armalite receivers back in October for $140 each and thought that was a high price since I could get Anvil Arms for $100 each. I am glad now I bought them.

They are very good receivers.

The complete lowers they are putting out seem to have the tactical two stage trigger or two stage NM trigger. I got one for around the same price with the tactical two stage and really like it.

I wish I could have got one.. I would say they are top stuff.. I got a M&P lower for a LMT 16" upper and I put the LMT upper on my Armalite lower and it is soild as a rock but when I put it on my M&P lower it has alot of wiggle.. I got the lower cuz it was the only one I could get and I thot that S&W made good stuff. but at least I have somthing.. I am going to be hunting for a LMT lower or any other lower that will have no wiggle in it.. I mean I can live with it but damn it sucks.. I just wish there was somthing you could buy to fix it besides the accuweg, I mean I hate the fact u have to jam it in there then it makes it hard to strip and you have to place it back every time.. and I lost mine I guess it fell out.. but yeah the accuweg really does not work anyway and its a bitch to use.. but yeah maby if things cool down I will be able to get a LMT lower but prolly not.. and the fact I live in hawaii pretty muchs makes it to where u cant get much and the price is crazy.. Im thinking of taking the lower to a gunsmith and seeing what he can do, not sure if they can do anything about it..

"but yeah the accuwedge really does not work anyway"

Some of the wedges are knock offs I think. They are way too soft. I have a couple of the firm ones and they work well. Don't know what durometer# they are though.
